Statement
2.3.1. A beam of charged particles of various masses, having the same velocity
Solution
According to the problem statement, it is required to find the minimum mass of the particles in the beam at which all of them will reach the second grid. In this case, the work of the force between the grid electrodes over the distance
here it is taken into account that the work of the force
Then the minimum mass of the particles is:
Note: the problem can also be solved dynamically, using the impulse of force. Try to reach the answer independently using this method.
Answer
The minimum mass of the particles for them to reach the second grid is
